How long does cosmetic tattooing last?

Results typically last between 1–3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare instructions. Annual touch-ups are recommended to keep the color fresh and vibrant.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Please avoid alcohol, caffeine, blood thinners (like aspirin), and intense skincare treatments (like retinol) for at least 24–48 hours before your appointment. Arrive with clean skin and no makeup on the treatment area.

Who is not a good candidate for cosmetic tattooing?

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation
  • Taking blood-thinning medications
  • Prone to keloid scarring
  • Have uncontrolled diabetes or certain skin conditions (consult with your physician first)
  • Cold sores on your lips- must be complete heald with no signs of outbreak

Does cosmetic tattooing hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort. We apply a professional-grade topical numbing agent before and during your procedure to ensure you're as comfortable as possible.

What is the healing process like?

You can expect slight redness, swelling, and tenderness for the first 1–3 days. A light scabbing or flaking phase will occur around days 4–10. Full healing is usually complete within 4–6 weeks.

Can I wear makeup after my appointment?

You should avoid wearing makeup directly over the tattooed area until fully healed (around 10–14 days). This prevents infection and preserves your results.

What if I need a touch-up?

A perfecting touch-up session is usually needed around 6–8 weeks after your initial appointment to fine-tune the shape, color, and saturation. Touch-up pricing will be discussed during your first visit.

How long is each session?

Appointments typically last between 1.5–3 hours, depending on the complexity of the service. We take our time to consult, map, and perfect your look.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Zelle, Apple Pay and cash.
